Have you ever felt drawn to a particular gemstone? That pull you feel isn’t just aesthetic — it’s energetic. For centuries, cultures around the world have recognized that gemstones carry unique vibrational frequencies that can influence our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Whether you’re new to crystal healing or a seasoned collector, understanding the energy properties of different gemstones can help you choose pieces that align with your intentions and support your journey. At MyAleph, we handcraft each piece with carefully selected gemstones, honoring both their beauty and their energetic purpose.
What Are Gemstone Energy Properties?
Gemstones are formed deep within the Earth over millions of years, crystallizing under intense pressure and heat. This process creates unique molecular structures that vibrate at specific frequencies. These vibrations interact with our own energy fields, or chakras, to promote balance, healing, and transformation.
The concept of gemstone healing has roots in ancient practices including Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Reiki. While scientific research on crystal healing is still emerging, millions of people worldwide report profound experiences when working with gemstones intentionally.
How to Work with Gemstone Energy
Setting Your Intention
The most important step in working with gemstones is setting a clear intention. Before wearing or carrying a gemstone:
- Hold the stone in your hands
- Take three deep breaths
- State your intention clearly (I wear this rose quartz to attract more love into my life.)
- Visualize your intention already manifested
